General Motors (GM) is issuing a recall for 107 Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV models, specifically from model years 2020 through 2022. This recall affects vehicles that had previously been serviced under Recall 21V-650, intended to address battery issues. GM’s new recall, registered under campaign number 24V812000 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is due to a potential issue with the high-voltage battery that may lead to a fire if charged to full or near-full capacity.
The problem arises from the possibility that advanced diagnostic software was not correctly installed on these vehicles during the prior recall. Without this software, GM cautions that the battery could catch fire if fully charged, posing a risk to vehicle occupants and others nearby.
To prevent potential incidents, GM is advising owners to take a series of interim precautions. These include setting their Bolt EV or EUV’s Target Charge Level to a maximum of 90% and charging the vehicle more frequently to avoid depleting the battery to a low level, such as 70 miles of remaining range. GM also advises owners to park their vehicles outside after charging and to avoid indoor overnight charging.
GM dealerships will reinstall the advanced diagnostic software on affected vehicles at no cost to owners. Letters to notify owners of the recall are expected to be mailed by December 16, 2024. Until then, owners can contact the Chevrolet Bolt EV Concierge Team at 1-833-382-4389 for more information or assistance.
For additional questions, owners may also reach out to the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit the NHTSA website at www.nhtsa.gov.
